I wouldn't be able to mount the file system or link to it without a recompile, sorry I thought that was obvious from by description. I don't want to enable write though as I know that there are still some issues though with writes to an NTFS filesystem so I can't just link the directory. I must link the contents of the WIN2K fonts directory to my font directory (/usr/local/share/fonts/win). The program fc-cache doesn't see the files if they are soft linked to the NTFS partition. It does if they are linked to the Win98 FAT partition. If I copy the Win2K fonts with cp, no problem, so I guess the fonts are ok. My theory is that perhaps fc-cache is looking to open the files for write (allowed from LINUX under FAT but not under NTFS).
